Having an inbound:outbound ration of 10:1 is known as a leech ... --- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.

This gives an interesting insight regarding CDN as they seem to play a big role here. However, in general, what do you call your ISP as? A 'Heavy Inbound' or 'Mostly Inbound'? Is there any community standard about this ratio (having 1:10 or higher) to be treated as Heavy Inbound? Or this is just a rough estimation? Thank you. - Prasun Regards, Prasun Kanti Dey Ph.D. Candidate, Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Central Florida web: https://prasunkantidey.github.io/portfolio/ On Jun 19, 2019, at 2:18 PM, Aaron Gould <aaron1 () gvtc com> wrote: I run an eyeballs/isp network for about ~50,000 subscribers, and I see about 1:10 ratio at peak time. Last night ~4.5 gbps out, ~45 gbps in. But, I do have local caching of 4 big name cdn cache providers, so that might alter the 1:10 ratio I see on my actual inet links (which do not include the local cdn traffic) …take Netflix for instance… I see on my local nfx cdn links, 1:100 ratio of in:out. 20 gbps inbound and .2 gbps outbound (during that same timeframe as aforementioned actual inet links) Numbers based on 21:00 CDT last night. -Aaron
